Kushner attended one of the sessions
More on Prince Jared’s casual entitled disregard for all the rules and laws and restrictions:
According to a Feb. 22, 2017, directive from the White House Counsel’s Office, all White House personnel are required to “conduct all work related communications on your official EOP email account” except under “emergency circumstances.”
Early last year, White House lawyers warned West Wing staffers in mandatory ethics training sessions not to use encrypted messaging apps. Kushner attended one of the sessions, The Washington Post reported at the time.
But hey, they all of them were indifferent enough to ethics and laws that barred them from working for Daddy’s administration to work in it anyway, so how much attention are they going to pay to some weird ethics training session?
Questions about Kushner’s use of WhatsApp come in the wake of the revelation that Trump last year directed that his son-in-law receive a top-secret security clearance, despite objections by career intelligence officials.
What I’m saying. Kushner shouldn’t be part of the administration at all; he shouldn’t have a security clearance at all, let alone a top-secret one; he is and he has; they don’t care about any of it.
In his letter Thursday, which was first reported by Politico, Cummings said Lowell also told him in their December meeting that Kushner’s wife, presidential adviser Ivanka Trump, was continuing to receive emails related to White House business on her private email account and did not always forward them to her White House account.
The Post reported in November that Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of emails in 2017 to White House aides, Cabinet officials and her assistants using a personal account, many of them in violation of federal records rules.
In his letter Thursday, Lowell said he was referring to Ivanka Trump’s email practices before September 2017, when White House lawyers discovered the extent of her personal email use.
A White House review found that Ivanka Trump used personal email at a particularly high rate, according to two former administration officials with knowledge of the situation.
The president was angry with both Kushner and Ivanka Trump over using private emails in the fall of 2017 when it was first reported, the officials said.
It was too soon after But Her Emails.
Like all crime bosses, he wasn’t angry about them breaking the rules, he was angry because they got caught doing so.
Miscellany Room 2 appears to be missing, and this is just too funny to not share. In his incoherent, rambling tirade about Mueller and Trump’s bizarre idea that because he was elected and Mueller wasn’t, then Mueller has no right to investigate him, much less ‘write a report’, he came out with this doozy (emph. mine).
From the rivers? Are fish allowed to vote? What about alligators? toads? algae?
A poorly veiled threat to finish, yet again.
Who will not stand for it? The military? Police? Middle-Aged-Affluent-Weekend-Wannabe-Bikers for Trump?

Ophelia, with apologies for monopolising the thread, have you seen this? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/22/world/asia/north-korea-sanctions.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share
Sanctions imposed by Mnuchin on Thursday, rescinded by Trump today because, according to Sanders, “President Trump likes Chairman Kim, and he doesn’t think these sanctions will be necessary,”
Good god…
